- Short: Driver for gfx tablets and serial mices
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- GTDriver is a program to control serial graphic tablets and serial
- mice with your Amiga. Version 1.0 of GTDriver supports the following
- tablets:
-
- - Summagraphics MM
- - Summagraphics Bitpadone
- - CalComp 2000
- - Cherry
- - TekTronix 4957
- - Wacom
-
- and the following mice:
-
- - Microsoft mouse
- - Mouse System mouse
-
- If your tablet or mouse emulates one of the previous models you can
- use it with GTDriver (if not, contact the authors to have your device
- supported in the next release of the package).
-
- GTDriver has many parameters that can be configured using the prefs
- program GTDOptions. Among the parameters you find the emulation type,
- the baud rate, the dpi tablet resolution, the dimensions of the clip
- region, etc.
-
- GTDriver has two working modes: 'driver mode' and 'server mode'. In
- 'driver mode' the pointing device of the tablet becomes a mouse
- replacement, and you can use the tablet with any program. If you have
- a digitizing puck, it may have more than two buttons. However, only
- three buttons are supported in 'driver mode'. The third button is
- mapped to the third Amiga mouse button (that is supported by few
- programs).
-
- 'Server mode' is intended for programmers only. You can write your
- own programs that use GTDriver in server mode: in this way GTDriver
- will not control the screen pointer, and will send complete tablet
- information to your program in a documented format. By using GTDriver
- in 'server mode' your software can take full advantage of any tablet
- feature.
-
- GTDriver supports user-defined tablet buttons (called pseudo-buttons
- or p-buttons). A p-button is a rectangular area on the tablet, to
- which an arbitrary key combination has been associated. Whenever you
- press the stylus on a pseudo button, its key combination is sent to
- the active program just like you were pressing it on the keyboard. As
- many programs use keyboard shortcuts to select tools and menu items,
- you can define sets of p-buttons even for programs not explicitly
- written to work with GTDriver. For example, you can use Deluxe Paint
- or DynaCadd with a graphic tablet without having tool bars on the
- screen, without selecting menu items and, most of all, without the
- software being aware of GTDriver!
-
-
-
- SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
-
- GTDriver needs at least Kickstart/Workbench 2.04 to run. A fast CPU
- it's not required but the driver may have better performance with it.
